When i was 19 i had just bought a chainsaw from bargain pages, stripped it and rebuilt, one day on the pony and trap we went past a fallen oak, i went back the next day in my fiesta to get the carb set up with some load on the saw, new .404 chain, 42 inch bar so had to put the back seats down, small screw driver, well after a few rings this chap turned up in a land rover and asked what i was doing, he seemed to think it was his tree that i was stealing, once i explained that the 5 ft rings would not fit in my car even if i could lift them, he seemed to calm down, quite happy to ring it up with this old 2100cd with manual oiler, he was back in a jiffy with a big trailer, these were great times [emoji106]

Good job the owner wasn't planning to mill it.
